I have a ten year old Australian Cattle Mix...
Seeing as we got him when I was ten years old I was set on a name for the dog before we even got him. I wanted either Jack or Max...I don't remember why...
My parents didn't want a Jack so they reluctantly agreed on Max, which is what he still is...though the family got into the habit of lengthening his name to Maximiliano, and he listens to that if they call...but mostly he's just max.
Don't particularly like Max as a name anymore, and when I was training him as a puppy he came to various names...
Choco-Chip was one..jiu-gi was another.
Well after long ramblings on...here he is, after a bath...
